We are always in dialogue with the built environment, negotiating the tension between the enduring and the ephemeral. Living in San Francisco since 2020, I’ve been surrounded and inspired by Victorian architecture. Since then, I have been collecting modular elements of these houses, and using them to collage new figures that capture the dynamic interplay between the static and the changing environment. In this piece, an ensemble of Victorian houses are painted over a textured, trembling, and uneven surface that reflects the geography of the Bay Area. From a distance, the individual houses stand out from each other, but upon closer inspection, these elements combine into a greater gestalt.
